It's definitely a noticeable improvement on track, and only slightly more harsh on the street. I am hesitant to install the lowering kit as the MRC refresh is not available for 2016 cars. Does anyone have experience with this kit on a MRC '16 model?
For an SS with MRC, you'd want to get the 1LE spec kit (p/n 84556736): https://www.shopchevyparts.com/perfo...-92294543.html

For an SS without MRC, the lowering/handling kit is available (p/n 84203549 & 84401188):

The lowering kit comes with passive dampers, which would be a waste since you already have MRC, though it could be done if you want to lose the MRC setup. I would just get the kit designed around the dampers you have!

What’s the strut part#? Is that available if it ever needs replaced. That is one concern. Also would prob be nice for folks with aftermarket springs to have a better matched shock.

Has anyone driven theirs as a daily with the lowering+suspension kits on? I'm interested but don't want a horrifyingly bad ride in my DD/only car.


Interested in results.
Bringing an older one back up for info. This should fit a 2021 1SS w/o MRC correct? can anyone verify that part# 84203549 will fit a 2021 ss?

I did all of these parts on a 2016 SS and it still doesn’t seem to be as tight as my 2021 SS 1LE. I believe the bushings in some of the other suspension components must be different also. Would be great to know what those parts are, too.
